OpenBSD on a Laptop

- reading ext4 is possible but hard (OpenBSD doesn’t support journaling filesystems); you’re better off with ext2 or FAT - video support with AMD GPUs is good, much better than NVIDIA - OpenBSD has a good sound stack that supports most audio systems - full disk encryption is easy to set up and mentioned in the article - UEFI and GPT work wonderfully on recent versions

What's the reason for missing journaling file systems? Lack of developers? Design choice for code simplification? Security reasons? Or something else?

I guess the same as with support for, say, NTFS, plus less incentive to work on it, since it’s less popular.

Similar with FreeBSD (use geli for encryption) and I believe ext4 read support works now.

Is there FS-wrapper support on OBSD?
